Su Yinyin had never ridden a horse for so long before. As darkness fell, she felt a little hungry. Looking up, she saw smoke ahead.

Presumably, travelers are starting a fire to cook! After all, there haven't been any villages along the way.

Giddy up, giddy up, giddy up...

One, two, three... seven luxurious carriages, and several horses. What a grand display, a wealthy family indeed.

"Young master, there's someone here." Turning his head in the direction the guard pointed, he saw a woman leading a horse over.

Because they were relatively close to Su Yinyin, Su Yinyin chose to walk towards them.

By looking at their clothes and appearance, one can tell which one is the master and which one is the servant.

As Su Yinyin approached, they glanced at each other and felt a sense of familiarity, as if they had met before, but couldn't quite place each other.

The girl before me had her beautiful black hair tied up high, making her look like a natural fairy. Her face was exquisitely beautiful, with distinct features, both angular and soft, making her exceptionally beautiful.

Even with such a simple outfit, her beauty still couldn't be hidden.

One glance is enough to captivate you, especially her eyes, which make you irresistibly want to treat her well.

But no matter how I look at it, I feel like I know her very well!

Su Yinyin also secretly sized up the other person. He wore a crimson robe embroidered with auspicious clouds and flying eagles, a purple-gold crown inlaid with rubies on his head, and a black belt embroidered with gold at his waist. It accentuated his tall and upright figure, making him look exceptionally majestic and handsome.

With a serious expression that says, "Don't approach me, or you'll face the consequences."

He's very handsome; the only downside is that he's a bit dark-skinned.

Compared to Su Yi, it's still missing a little something.

Pulling herself back to reality, she took a few more steps forward, about five or six steps away from the master and servant.

He nodded to the other person and asked softly, "Young master, may I ask you for directions?"

"Miss, may I ask...?" She lowered her guard, adopting a gentler expression.

He wanted the woman in front of him to be unafraid of him and to develop a liking for him.

"Young master, is this the road leading to the capital?" Su Yinyin observed the other person, wary of any mischief, as she was alone. She needed to be cautious.

"That's true. If you go forward forty miles and then head towards Jiangyang City, you can also reach the capital."

If you go back now, it's about fifty li to Qingzhou, and then you can go towards the capital.

"My surname is Li. May I ask your name, young lady?"

"Oh, my name is Su Yinyin." Su Yinyin casually said her full name.

After speaking, Su Yinyin was still unaware of her own casualness. At that moment, she was caught up in her own thoughts and didn't notice the other person's reaction after she introduced herself.

“Su Yinyin, she shares the same name and surname as my cousin, and their eyes are so similar,” he murmured.

Looking at the girl in front of him who shared the same name as his cousin, the deepest part of his heart slowly softened.

I remembered the promise I made with my cousin Yinyin when we were little: that I would marry her when we grew up.

Yinyin has been gone for 6 years.

He received a message from his secret guards in the capital that he had secretly returned to the capital from the border for Yinyin. However, when he arrived, Yinyin and her child had already been abandoned by the Marquis's mansion in a mass grave.

When they went to the mass grave to search, no matter how hard they looked, they couldn't find even the slightest trace of Yinyin.

Therefore, I have always believed that Yinyin must be living somewhere. Over the years, the secret guards have searched almost the entire Great Zhou Kingdom.

Yinyin seemed as if she had never been to this world. Indeed, who would have thought that the person who rarely left her home would be a revered healer?

To this day, we still can't figure out or find out who caused the injustice that Yinyin suffered.

Why don't Yinyin's own brother and sister help her? Why can't they tolerate Yinyin?

Yinyin is also a victim. Is it acceptable to discard Yinyin so easily for the sake of family honor?

What happened to Yinyin has been kept secret from her grandmother and father. Her thoughts drifted back to the present.

"If Miss Su is in trouble, she can come with me... and we can look after each other on the way."

"Oh, that's possible, but wouldn't it be too much trouble?" She didn't immediately agree to the invitation.

After thinking for a moment, Su Yinyin said, "Thank you for your kindness, Young Master Li. I won't disturb you any longer and will continue on my way."

“Young lady, there is an inn forty li ahead. It is dark and windy tonight, not a good time to travel.”

The guards beside him were amazed to see that the general was talking so much today.

The general was usually a man of few words and indifferent to everyone. Yet, he showed such concern for this young woman, without a trace of wariness.

Su Yinyin was displeased. She was just asking for directions, why was he making such a fuss? Didn't he see that she was alone, on horseback, not in a hurry, eating wild grass and sleeping under trees?

Seemingly sensing the other party's concerns, he wanted to say something more.

Su Yinyin hurriedly said, "Thank you for your kindness, young master. I won't disturb you any longer; I'll continue on my way."

Without giving the opponent a chance, flip onto the horse, clamp your legs together, and start walking.

A large hand grabbed the horse's reins. "Miss Su, it's getting dark. There are often bandits ahead. Be careful and don't rush."

Even if there are robbers, Su Yinyin isn't afraid. She looked at the other person with a questioning gaze, not understanding why they were so eager. Did they have designs on her beauty?

In fact, Su Yinyin herself did not expect that all her hesitation stemmed from a certain degree of trust in the other party, she just hadn't realized it yet.

Looking into those probing eyes, am I a bad person? Am I too ugly? Or...?

In this frontier city, I'm a golden bachelor. Young ladies still in their chambers all want to marry me.

Why do I seem to be treated like a monster when it comes to this girl?

Don't they realize that no respectable young man would invite a young lady to camp out in the wilderness?

Such reckless behavior is bound to cause concern.

Just as he was thinking of what to say to keep the girl here...

"Cousin," a girl in green said. She had a pretty face, but her eyes were sharp.

Just now, in the carriage behind, Lin Lili saw a woman talking to her cousin, and her cousin was staring at that woman, seemingly very interested.

She was secretly anxious and wanted to go forward to find out, but she didn't have a reasonable excuse. If she went forward abruptly, she would leave a bad impression on her cousin.

In order to leave a good impression on my cousin, I could only suppress my temper and wait quietly.

Before long, seeing his aunt calling a maid to fetch his cousin for dinner, he volunteered to his aunt.

"The maid has prepared the meal. Auntie wants you to have your meal, cousin." After saying that, she reached out her little hand to pull up the other person's sleeve.

Just as her hand was about to touch the sleeve, she turned her body, causing the other person's hand to miss.

Seeing my cousin's disappointed expression, I didn't think much of it, only that she was being a bit too impulsive.

However, in Su Yinyin's eyes, his actions just now were also quite reckless.
